Chapter 348 - Chapter 348: Chapter 355: Not a Kind Person (2/2)
Madam Sun hadn’t expected Su Wenyue to be so verbally adept and assertive. With a cold expression, she said, “What a sharp-tongued Mrs. Su you are. You’re tough now, but don’t regret it when you suffer the consequences.”
Unintimidated, Su Wenyue retorted with a fake smile, “Don’t worry, Madam Sun, even if I do regret it, I won’t be bothering you.”
“Good, very good, Mrs. Su, you really are something. We shall see!” Madam Sun sneered several times, truly infuriated now. She had come here expecting to leverage her family’s newfound connections to trouble Mrs. Su and to vent her frustrations, but instead of venting, she spent money and now was bringing back a whole stomach of anger.
Frustrated, Sun Qianru followed Madam Sun, “Mother, are we just going to let her off like this? Mrs. Su is so arrogant. Shall we have someone teach her a lesson?”
“Qian Ru, you’re not young anymore, use your brain before you speak. If that were possible, would I have bothered with all these efforts? Mrs. Su, after all, is part of an official’s family, we can’t be too blatant without a proper handle on things, or else we’ll just be causing trouble for your father,” Madam Sun said sharply, already irritated and now responding to her daughter’s thoughtless suggestion with displeasure.
Sun Qianru, realizing her rashness, pursed her lips and glared furiously at Su Wenyue before reluctantly leaving with Madam Sun.
Su Hengyi had observed his sister’s demeanor from start to finish. Even with Madam Sun using Prime Minister Wang’s name as a threat, she showed no fear or retreat, managing to send Madam Sun and her daughter off in defeat and maintaining the upper hand. He nodded in satisfaction. His sister had matured, and while he had been concerned that her temperament would lead to being bullied, he could now rest assured that she could handle herself. However, today’s incident meant that Madam Sun and her daughter would definitely not let things rest.
“Younger sister, Madam Sun and her daughter are not easy to deal with, and they are narrow-minded. By offending them today, they will surely seek ways to retaliate. Please be extra careful in the future,” Su Hengyi earnestly advised.
“Big brother, don’t worry. I am aware of this. Han Yu and I have long had a feud with the Sun Family. Whatever they want to try, they can bring it on. Han Yu and I will have ways to handle it,” declared Su Wenyue, undeterred by the Sun Family’s lowly tactics, confident that caution would prevent any harm.
Su Hengyi nodded, looking at his sister’s fearless spirit. The once spoiled and mischievous young girl had indeed grown up. “I’m just giving you a heads-up. As long as you have a plan, that’s fine. If you need any help, just send someone to let me know,” he reassured her.
Having their targets purchased by the Sun Family, Su Hengyi and Su Wenyue returned empty-handed and set out to find new prospects. However, Su Hengyi learned from the experience and sent someone reliable and close to him to keep the information confidential. Su Wenyue wasn’t truly satisfied with the two stores anyway—otherwise, having someone meddle like that would have been exasperating.
“Big brother, since the store purchase fell through, let’s head back. Keep a keen eye out for me, and if you find something suitable, just secure it directly. You know what I’m looking for,” said Su Wenyue. She wasn’t afraid of Madam Sun and her daughter repeating their tactics; she simply couldn’t afford to waste time on them. She was eager to buy and set up the store so she could start making money as soon as possible.
